I took a photo as I was packing up the puzzle carefully for the opshop. You can see I put it away still made up. There were ten panels like this. The picture was the painting “The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania”

Meant to be another after work drinks put on tonight but I am too knackered for twice in a row. This place is going to turn me into more of alcoholic than I already am
back from opshop and got a good haul of LPs. First up Yehudi Menuhin playing some beethoven
this is the same album on YT !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbORaxeqMQ
The Hummel record went in the bin, it is too scratched plus I hate the music.
The Melodya LP of Scheherazade by the Novosibirsk Orchestra is divine. here’s pic of the cover all in Russian
My favourite The Beach Boys song
Also REO Speedwagon power song
Bad news about the doors confirmed. They can’t temporarily install my old door handle or lock onto this new door because it doesn’t meet modern fire safety requirements. Apparently the new locks will be the same locks we had in Resi - a simple latch that can be very easily opened, and they’re going to place a metal plate over it to prevent people slipping cards or things to open the lock from the outside
I guess that’s a solution, but it feels like yet another step towards making the house feel exactly like the place I was at before. I guess on the bright side, I’m only 6 months away from turning 18. Once I do that, I can GTFO if I want, although practically I’m almost forced to stay for another 6-12 months until I can move elsewhere.
I suspect once the opportunity to book hotel rooms opens up, I’ll take a lot more spontaneous Mildura or Adelaide trips
that is a great expressive pic
Ikr. Apparently the requirements only apply to new installations. Interestingly though, they replaced my last deadbolt lock with the same type of deadbolt lock after the other kid had shoved a pair of scissors into my lock, and it didn’t silly then, despite the fact that that was put in the bin and replaced with a new lock
As I understand it though, the deadbolt locks aren’t the problem. The problem is that they often require a dual action (unlocking the lock then opening the door handle). Don’t ask me what they can’t just not install a door handle - they won’t elaborate. But that’s what I’ve been told
There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)
They’re the types to give vegans a bad name.
I can’t believe how much outrage there has been over this. It seems to be making rounds on the entirety of lemmy every couple days
It’s like they don’t care about the fact that cats are obligate carnivores.
Edit: in fact, they don’t even know what ‘obligate carnivore’ means.
There’s slews of 'em going ‘but supplements and this single study that mostly looked at dogs said it was ok!!’
Like…jesus. They’re trying to force an animal to go against its nature to suit their personal preferences and they do not see the hypocrisy. Get a fucking parrot you twonks
Love to see their reaction to chickens demolishing any rat they find!
A mouse in a chook pen is like the scarabs eating that dude in The Mummy. it’s fucking terrifying
Bugs!? I hate bugs!
The whole point of these restrictive diets is to go against nature.
It’s to weaken the body so that the spirit can take better control and live a purer life.
This applies to cats? Good luck making any cat live a purer life.
I aspire to the purity of a cats life. Abject hedonism and if you don’t understand something, smack it.
My dog loves cucumber. But goes crazy for big meaty bones. Lettuce and celery result in a dog equivalent of a death stare. I’m sure he would throw them back at me if he could 😂
A long ago cat thought carrot greens were LSD! She still ate meat including an unfortunate quantity of the local lizard population.
One of my previous dogs loved vegetables and was a menace in the vegetable garden. She was particularly fond of tomatoes and broccoli/cauliflower - she loved to munch on a sun-warmed broccoli leaf in the afternoons, and would over time eat the whole plant. She also taught my other dog to do the same. Fortunately Mr Woof is much more restrained.
Same with my dog. Not even a bit of carrot which a lot of dogs love.
Punkin was an absolute grass whore. It made him barf everywhere and occasionally we ended up with anal beads of poop and grass but god damn that boy was gonna reload and nothing could stop him
Hi! I’m the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase “obligate carnivore” is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.
But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)
…nah mate. You’re literally putting your desires over the animal’s needs. It’s the same egotistical “animals must serve the desires of man” schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.
Miss me with that bullshit.
soz but are the animals killed for the cat food not equally deserving of life and happiness as a cat?
🍿🍿🍿
Hope that’s oil or margarine on that popcorn! Chicken salt is fine though, amusingly it has no chicken in it. Weird name huh?
Margarine should only be used as axel grease. Good afternoon.
I used to agree, but nuttlex buttery is actually quite good!
although personally don’t add fat to much, being an enthusiastic cook that is growing sideways a little more than I ought to.
Those people need to own rabbits. Or preferably no animals at all because they lack any sort of clue.
And if you disagree with them on the viability of vegan diets and cats you’re ‘emotionally invested in them being wrong’
Just…dude. Don’t own a fucking cat. Millions do it.
How’s our no snacks after tea (nsat) gang going? Getting a better sleep? The fucking wind not helping. Give it some time and you should be sleeping better.
I’m a bit like Duenan in that my mealtimes have lacked regular timing. But I still have not snacked.
So proud. Little steps yeah.
Not good but my meals have been taken at irregular times so that’s not helping.
Nothing big though. A Monte Carlo or some orange for dessert
going well 👍
I bought no snack on my errand
I also have been having decaf only after 4
It’s my irl bday today.
To celebrate I’m going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P’s are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.
Happy frikkin birthday dude!
Happy birthday pumpkin
Thank you sweet potato :)
😘
Happy birthday!
thanks Dan!
OMG happy birthday BR!
I got duped into paying 60 bucks last time I went for indian :(
Thanks Baku! $60 for one!?
Unfortunately yes. Kind of embarrassing, but I walked in and sat down. I fully intended on just getting 1 plate with a can of drink, but she was like “you don’t want any starter???”, so I got 1 naan bread. But then she said “oh my gosh, you only want 1??? Are you sure!!! Are you sure you’re sure???”, so I got 2. Then for the drink, she seemed disappointed I was only getting a diet coke, so she recommended the mango lassi. I’d never heard of it, so I tried one. Then for the main, I just wanted a small curry on rice, but she convinced me to get a spicy lamb soup with a very large side of saffron rice. Then obviously I skipped dessert.
That’s the day I learnt how to say no, because fucking ouch. I had a fair bit of extra money that week, and rather than saving it like a normal person, I decided to just be a silly little idiot and “treat myself”, only to not say no to anything and spend a fucking shit ton for a single meal. I’m pretty sure it was actually $68ish and I think they stung me with card fees. Ooft. I did take a fair bit home with me though, but that killed my plans to go see a movie afterwards, because I didn’t want it sitting in my bag all night and going off or something

Thanks! I’m on win 7 so they come up as squares. After pasting the squares into google it comes up as Hippo baby chicken parrot which honestly is a very sweet thing to say.
Meant to be Hippo birdies. A Happy Birthday saying I probably acquired from LJ
so many hugs and kisses 😽😽😽
may the coming year bring you happiness
Thank you Seagoon :)

Happy birthday mate 🎉🎂🍺
Thank you CEO :)
Happy birthday wishes!
Thanks Eagle!
Happy birthday, hope there’s no nastiness with in laws and the weekend erases any yucky things from this week! Make sure you don’t get a half portion. And if it’s good I wanna know where it’s from.
Thank you :) Thankfully they were chill.
It was very good food from Kew curry house. Used to be called Aachis I think.
Happy Birthday! Give that jasmine a right smacking!
Thank you :)
Awesome.
Happy birthday!
More than happy for takeaway at home for my birthday!
Thank you. Takeaway just seems a lot easier for everyone.
Stay warm and safe and may your house not blow away. 😘

ferris wheel 🙂
now spinning like a centrifuge due to the high winds
Hook a generator up, quick
Yes there is much music talk,however, did no one see the baked goods? It’s revelatory.
Ok maybe I’m deprived
why you talk about baked goods, now I want to bake shortbread with ginger pieces
Love reading the online catalogues at SLV. The language of certain decades is so well crafted, particularly with advertising:
Melbourne and suburban hotel, guest and boarding house guide and tourist handbook. Date 1928?
Oh you’d love some of the stuff I’ve worked on. Social disease, self pollution, public convenience, avoidance of harlotry. The turns of phrase are magnificent!
Any strange Girl coming to Melbourne can visit the Cafeteria here where meals can be got for a small charge
Is that building still there in Russell Street?
The vast majority of buildings in this particular guide I’m reading seem to have been supplanted. Seems something of a shame but, equally, nothing stops progress.
It’s bin day for us. I’m guessing lots of the bins in our street must be tired, when I left this morning many were laying down having a nice nap :|
Our garbo will deserve a bonus by the time he’s finished today!
Ours are still up, thankfully. But I don’t think the ones in my area do chase after rubbish or pick up knocked over bins. A few days ago I was coming home and a lot of people’s bins were tipped over and still completely full, about 11 hours after pickup in that area. It was a similar story last week
I think my bin got a bit hyperactive with all the wind. I put the green waste bin out with only a bag of food scraps in it, this morning it was completely full of weeds. Obviously it was feeling a bit under-utilised and went out to do some weeding.
I do consider bins on the road already fair game (for the correct contents!) but it’s not uncommon for people to post requests for bin space in the local FB group
I was actually thinking when I put it out that it was a bit of a waste putting out a massive bin with just a small bag of chicken bones down the bottom. It’s mostly surprising that someone was out filling a bin full of weeds in the middle of the night, expecially considering the weather!
Ours are still standing, but full several hours after typical pickup. Might be a mess further down the road?
Ours were still up too thankfully (and not yet emptied), but further up the road I saw the garbage truck stopped as the driver was cleaning up a mess. Poor guy is going to have a long day :(
are we not doing a friday? I can do one if people want.
Nah it’s Groundhog Day.
They say we’re young and we don’t know…
Don’t worry about it. Seagoon will change it when she jumps on.
it’s fixed now, 😐
👍
There was panic at the station 😂
Fire in the disco!
